X2-IB/E High Speed Spindle Mount

A simple and effective enhancement to the X2 mini mill that allows the attachment of a Proxxon IB/E professional grinder for use as a high speed spindle. This product extends the capabilities of the X2 by allowing small diameter cutters to be used at their recommended rotational speed for maximum material removal and life. Example uses are: Fine Engraving Work Mechanical Circuit Board Etching Jewelry Wax Machining Highly Detailed Wood Carving

Why Choose the Proxxon IB/E?

Proxxons noted reputation for quality tools 100 watts of cutting power in an extremely compact size 5000-20,000 RPM variable spindle speed Continuous duty rating with forced air-cooling Die-cast aluminum mounting surface and nose bearing seat Super quiet operation even at 20,000 RPM Excellent run-out characteristics Compact size allowed a mere 2.7 offset from stock spindle centerline 6 collet sizes and a variety of included bits

This enhancement lends itself to both manually operated and CNC controlled machines with either a MT3 or R-8 spindle.
